Firefox at 28% usage .. - Linux

This is a discussion on Firefox at 28% usage .. - Linux ; "Firefox’s visit share .. over a one year vision, it gains 5 points in
order to reach 28% in December 2007"

And the Firefox team is smart - in addition to looking at features and
choice and extensibility they look to have their product have a "native"
look where ever it is run - and they work with UI experts to make sure
Firefox has an excellent UI.

It is an example of excellence in the OSS world... especially from what I
have seen of Firefox 3 beta.

Those that take my classes learn the importance of both.

In my experience, it runs better on Windows. Hopefully that will change
with FF 3.0.

Things are much improved today, thanks to the popularity of standards
based browsers like Firefox. In fact I find it difficult to find many
sites that /don't/ work with Firefox. That's quite a change over a
relatively short time-frame. IE may still have the lions share, thanks
to bundling, but the Vole has lost the PR battle; is losing mindshare
rapidly; and will ultimately lose the market that goes with it.
